4 months old...can I BE any cuter?

Look at me...I'm 4 months old! I'm getting so chub! I now weigh 13 pounds 5 ounces. I've also almost outgrown my 0-3 month clothes and my size 1 diapers! Pretty soon I'm going to double my birth rate. It must be all those bottles! I'm now eating 6 ounces of formula five times a day. I'm such a good baby...I'm happy almost all the time. I smile, laugh, coo, sing, squeal, and sometimes yell! I'm one vocal little baby. I can grab toys with one hand and bring them to my mouth or give them to my other hand. I also like being on my tummy now, which is a new development! My personal goal for this next month is to grab my toe-toes. I stare at them ALL the time and I want them SO bad, but I can't figure out how to get them. I know I'll be able to figure that out soon!

Look at me...I'm 3 months old!

Look at me, I'm 3 months old today! My parents can't believe how big I'm getting! They think I'm probably around 12 pounds, at least. I'm doing all sorts of new things. My two biggest accomplishments are laughing and grabbing! Yep...the day my daddy has been waiting for since I was born has finally arrived. I can laugh! I don't do it that often because I want them to really appreciate it, but when I do it's just the cutest thing...or so I hear! Also, if you put one of my toys, like my new favorite moo cow, in reaching distance I will grab it. My hands still move really slow, but I do have control of them. :) Yipee! Maybe soon I'll figure out how to get that thumb in my mouth.

XOXO-

Vivi got baptized on Saturday, January 15th. As Uncle Bryan put it, "Vivi, we're so glad you can get into heaven now." Nice uncle...ha ha.

What a difference a swaddle makes!

Thank goodness for You Tube! Vivi's Houdini hand would always escape the swaddle and would wake her up at night. Hence the bottom picture. I can't tell you how many times I've had to re-swaddle Vivi in the middle of the night. We have a handy-dandy video monitor and there are times when I swear that little hand is just waving at me (maybe flipping me off, I'm not sure) saying..."haha...look at me, I've escaped!" I don't know what gave me the idea to You Tube swaddling, but thank goodness I did. Now look at the top picture....see that smiling face?! Since I've enforced the new "Double Swaddle", as it's called, Vivi's Houdini hands have yet to escape! Drum roll please..........
